Will be updating ASFN forum software.

[Dback Jon]

We need a new post button when you’re in a thread instead of the two Step process you have now

Same. Too hard for me to read I need black ink

The color of the page is too light. Some medium options would be nice.

 

[Covert Rain]

Got all cranky that I was signed out and everything was different. "Why weren't we warned?" I wondered. Well, we were, right here lol

I dunno. I loved the old format and hope things haven't changed. I'm very much an old dog I'll give it a shot.

Another definite glitch: currently unable to back space out of a forum and to the main forums list. Doing so gives a black screen with a tiny screen with a red X in the middle. To exit a forum now you have to return to the main forums list by clicking the link again.

But, hey, glitches are to be expected. They'll get fixed. Not like the update has crashed the board or anything

Stout what device and browser are you using? My notifications are clearing and I am able to go back with no issues.

 

[Mainstreet]

To clarify, the thread color of "Latest posts" is too similar to the light page preference. It's blue on blue.

 

[UncleChris]

its also harder to tell what forums have new posts and what do not as the font change is very subtle

This. I'm color blind and it is very difficult for me to differentiate the two.... Dark mode for me.

I use Firefox at home (where I had the notification problem only) and Edge at work (where I had both problems).

Weird. I use both of those browsers as well and neither of those things are happening to me on either one. You might want to try clearing your cache on both browsers.

I'm in dark mode and still have the issue, just not as much.

There is a new version of the forum software ASFN is running on. The new version will be installed in the next few days. There will be some differences with it and will be some new learning curves with it as well.

The theme(look) needs to be updated as well. It will still have the same look but also needed to be redone with this new update.

I know some will not like it right off the bat, but please give it some time.

Me likey - new format is less of a memory hog.

I'm having a tough time with these color options. The light mode is basically unusable, extremely hard to read. The dark mode is just a gloomy mess and the contrast makes my eyes water, but at least it is readable so it beats the light blue.

The user names font color for non-contributors is black, so you can't read it against a black background, lol. Not sure all this was thought through very well. I hope I can get used to it because for now it's rather uncomfortable on the eyes.

more customization options would be nice. I didnt notice not being able to read usernames until now. should be white or blue IMO

 

[Dback Jon]

Where can I change number of posts per page?

I haven't discovered how to do that here. I miss that option.

This seems like a big one to me.

And the skip to the bottom or top of page arrows as well. Both features are huge. Especially on a tablet or touch screen.

 

[BigRedRage]

very very few customization settings.

 

[UncleChris]

The new shell isn't responding to me very well either. I'm on a 40 Mbps line and everything else works well.... This site is devinetley sluggish for me.

The site BEFORE the upgrade was sluggish for me for a few days. Kept getting random errors. I think that problem started before the upgrade. It's actually running a bit better for me since the upgrade. This new version is lighter on the memory load and cpu cycles for me.

It appears the font color for usernames has been fixed on dark mode. I'm seeing everyone as white now, except staff members are red. Contributers have a banner under their name and avatar but are also white.

 

[Covert Rain]

All we need is more emojis and a built in GIF tool.

 

[Covert Rain]

Is Tapatalk not working with the upgrade for anyone else?

 

[BigRedRage]

yeah tapatalk is network error. closes out right away.

 

[Shaggy]

I like the updated look. I had a question though. On the old layout I could set how many posts showed on each page. I can't seem to find that anymore. Is that something that's gone away or will it be added in time?

Its an add on that need to be installed. When I did it on another site of mine, it broke the site, so working on getting one that works and will install it soon.

Nice, much better!

Not sure what you mean. How do you back space out?
